Everyone thought I was crazy for bringing in a noise maker to my office.
I thought it was a nice addition to many other items I have on my desk. Some serious, some whimsical.
Anyone wanting to come in and talk always hit the desk Gong for fun, but it had a more useful tone as an icebreaker. I always had an open door if anyone needed to talk.
The Gong was the perfect addition to my selection of items to help employees come in and talk. I always try to end conversations on a good note. The Gong was always sounded when everything went good. Sometimes even if things were not great.
The sound was funny and serious at the same time, and many times we had a good laugh.
When I retired I left the Gong to my replacement who I hope still uses it to help with communication.
